Fosters home for imaginary friends
the paddle ball champion
Bloo was sat in the bedroom talking to Eduardo who was petting a small stuffed dog called poco. He cooed the small animal and pretended to take it around the house. Bloo sat he looked around for something to cure him of his boredom. Then a bus pulled up outside of fosters bloo looked out the window to find a bus load of new friends turn up and walk up the front path. He noticed one of them was holding a paddle ball.
Bloo searched franticly around the room for his, he yanked it out of the toy box and proceeded to go and stand near the front door when the new friends walked in so he could impress the others. Frankie told all the friends to make themselves at home and if they needed anything to contact her. The new friend ran up to bloo and he said “well hi there I believe you play paddle ball”
bloo replied “I am the best in the whole house beaten everyone here”
the new friend introduced himself as Mr Doodles he said playfully “hey maybe you should challenge me sometime” bloo hissed at mr doodles and bloo shouted “right I challenge you at 3.00 in the arcade a game or paddle ball shall be played and lost by you”
at 2.30 bloo was holding the paddle and attempting to hit it off the ball bloo just couldn’t do it. He stood no chance against him although he would give it all be had.
2.45 came and went and everyone started to gather in the arcade bloo made his way to the gathering place and he had a smug look on his face. Mr Doodles also made his way to the arcade but he was smiling but not much.
the ticked the final moments of the hour then the clock struck 3 wilt announced that the person who paddles most for the next 5 minutes wins so then as the click continued to tick they paddled bloo surprisingly hit the ball repeatedly but he was concentrating mr doodles however was doing with ease and he seemed to enjoy the challenge if that’s what it was.
Mac had somehow heard the news and as the bell rang at school he hurried to the duel and burst through the door he ran through fosters and into the arcade mac shouted for his buddy to stop before he got too competitive “bloo” mac shouted bloo turned around but instead of paddling with the ball he let it go and mr doodles smirked mac looked in horror and wilt announced the final seconds of the duel.
5 4 3 2 1 …
Mac stared in horror at the paddle on the floor bloo started angrily at mac hoping for an answer they both gazed they meet eyes mac started to apologise for what he had caused. Bloo simply looked at mac and shouted “you idiot I was winning that” Mr Doodles came over and commented “what a nice friend ya have there” mac quickly swept the newbie an evil look and then continued to stare at bloo who stood quietly waiting for someone to talk.
Mac asked bloo “we’re still cool right I mean we’re best friends”
bloo snapped “no mac we are past friends hear it PAST MAC”
Mac stared at bloo in shock and bloo walked off to the kitchen. There bloo was met by cheese who asked for more chocolate milk bloo tried to push cheese away but he wouldn’t go so bloo just grabbed a can of cola then went on his way down the halls to the bedroom. Wilt hurried over to mac that had not moved since bloo left wilt told mac that bloo was a bit harsh but the game was not a serious deal and not to worry about it too much. Mac was more worried about bloo and what he will do the last time something like this happened he had not been able to come to fosters due to guilt
mac seen a opportunity when people started to clear the room and he made a run for the door. The crowds in fosters muttered amongst themselves about the duel and how it was all ruined for bloo thanks to mac this annoyed bloo even more so he asked Frankie to bring him some food up to the bedroom. Frankie told him “bloo you’re a big friend now do it yourself don’t let this bother you”
bloo had had enough he just went to bed without tea and fell asleep. The next morning when he rose he got up and went to breakfast there he was met by a very quiet room he grabbed his cornflakes and sat on the edge of the table at the opposite end of the table waved a small friend who looked no bigger than a thumbnail bloo waved back and mr doodles jumped on the table and ran up the table to see bloo, bloo stared at the friend who started to shake his head he asked bloo “so you liking the defeat” bloo ignored this comment and went on to ask “why are you so bothered anyway” mr doodles said “well I won the duel now you owe me what ever I want” bloo turned away and said “I’m not giving you whatever you want”
mr doodles cut in and said “so you don’t want fame and fortune” bloo turned around and ran toward the friend he said in a more demanding voice “what shall I do I’ll get right to it” the friend just stood and thought bloo was annoyed because he wanted to do the job now so he could lots of fortune and be famous. Mr Doodles then said” why don’t you make a cake and bring it to my room by 5.00 that gives you 3 hours”
bloo ran out of the breakfast hall and into the kitchen there he met Frankie just the girl he wanted he ran to her and said will you help me make as cake for mr doodles Frankie just said “it’s nice you can get along nicely but I didn’t think you’d want to make him a cake” it’s not that he wanted to but really it was natural instinct to do so bloo grabbed at the eggs and flour and put them in a giant bowl the fixed them then he put in water and margarine then he mixed it again and the put the mix into a really big mould then slid it into the over to cook.
Bloo pondered the room and he looked around for something to do while he waited for the cake to cook. Bloo sat looking for something to do in the kitchen. Bloo decided to put the items back that he’s used so he got a chair and put the flour back he had to pile more things on the chair to put the margarine back the fridge was high up bloo had to put a box on the chair and a kennel, a vase then bloo was able to put the margarine away. When bloo got back down everything fell on top of him the vase smashed the kennel destroyed and the chair hanging loosely by one leg. Everything was destroyed and Frankie was not very happy when she walked it she found bloo in the middle of a heap.
Frankie cleaned up the mess but bloo opened the oven to find a burnt cake so bloo got some white paint from the cupboard and painted the cake and decorated it with paint. then bloo wheeled it out to mr doodles and he rewarded bloo with fame in the house newspaper he made the front page news and bloo and mac has forgiven each other they had a food fight to celebrate.
